Belmont Star Market Worker Dies From Coronavirus Complications
BELMONT (CBS) -- A 70-year-old Star Market worker in Belmont has died from coronavirus. Cresencia Colletti is the third grocery store worker to die from a coronavirus-related illness in Massachusetts.
Colletti immigrated from the Philippines with her family 40 years ago and worked for 25 years at the grocery store packaging produce, according to a close family friend.
Colletti began to feel ill two and a half weeks ago, and stopped working April 4. Her initial test for coronavirus came back negative.
She didn't work directly with customers, but the store has been thoroughly cleaned since she stopped working. Colletti was eventually taken to the hospital.
Star Market released a statement Tuesday night: "Our hearts are heavy, and our thoughts are with that associate's family. This is a difficult day for the entire Star market team."
Colletti leaves behind three children.
